On Labor Day, 1938, close to Breesvort Castle, the huge and legendary home of the spawling, tumultuous, and quarrelsome Breesvort family, whose forebears tore thousands of acres of the Hudson River Valley away from the Indians in the seventeenth century, a terrible crime takes place. A beautiful young woman is hunted down through the woods by night, slain with a knife, stripped, skinned like a doe, and hung by her heels from the tree like a flayed and butchered animal.Now thirty years later, as the Breesvort family gathers in the wake of a funeral for a family celebration, the unsolved murder continues to haunt them and may indeed be repeated, as the same cast of characters gathers once again.
